The 'Miracle shot" quick action, at what cost ?
Understanding Ozempic, Wegovy, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide & Mounjaro
These injectable drugs are part of a new generation of medications originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes.
They work by mimicking gut hormones like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), helping to control blood sugar, slow digestion, & reduce appetite, which leads to weight loss.
Ozempic & Wegovy both contain semaglutide.
Mounjaro & Zepbound contain tirzepatide, which acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors ,offering even greater appetite suppression.
However, the hype comes with caution:
•. Rapid weight loss may cause muscle loss, gallbladder issues, or rebound weight gain once stopped.
•. Long-term safety for non-diabetic users is still being studied.
These drugs can be life-changing when prescribed for medical reasons, but they’re not a shortcut to healthy living.
If u care about Ur health & genuinely want to loss weight, sustainable weight control still depends on balanced nutrition, exercise, & lifestyle habits.
